Kaffe is a cleanroom implementation of the Java platform from Transvirtual
Technologies. There is no Sun code in it, it's open source, it's almost
JDK1.1-compliant, it has a few JDK1.2 features, and it runs on a lot of
platforms that Sun will never support.
Kaffe had an important release (1.0.5) on 10/18 - it's much improved from
the version on the RH6.1 CD. As part of the release, they've abandoned the
ancient Pizza compiler and adopted the much newer Kopi compiler.
Comparisons? It runs faster than the Sun JDK ports, it's not entirely
JDK1.1 compliant, but it's in generally pretty good shape.
